2011 Ram 1500 Suspension Service & Repair

Questions About 2011 Ram 1500 Steering & Suspension

• Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Ram's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
• Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Ram 1500? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Ram intended.
• When does Ram 1500 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 1500 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Ram's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
• Why is my Ram 1500 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 1500 to bounce more than usual.
• Why does my 1500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 1500 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
• What are the signs that the shocks on my Ram 1500 need replacing? If your 1500 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your 1500 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
